Art show at Grant Cottage this weekend

WILTON >> Grant Cottage State Historic Site will host an art show this Saturday and Sunday featuring a collection of wildlife paintings by Wayne Trimm.

Trimm was trained in science and in art. For 30 years, he was art editor of New York’s award-winning Conservationist magazine. His paintings of the surrounding region’s birds, animals and plants are not appreciated for their artistic value but for their scientifically accuracy.

Trimm will mark his 92nd birthday on Saturday.

The public is invited to meet him personally from 1 to 2 p.m.
